PEP 541 Request: msgrpc #1024

Closed dhagrow closed 3 years ago

dhagrow commented 3 years ago

Project to be claimed

msgrpc: https://pypi.org/project/msgrpc

Your PyPI username

dhagrow: https://pypi.org/user/dhagrow

Reasons for the request

I was unable to register a new package with the name msgrpc, but received the response: 400 The name 'msgrpc' isn't allowed. It is not clear why this name is being rejected. There are no packages on PyPI with this name, and I can find no references to it in the standard library.

The only reference to the name that I can find is a module for the Metasploit framework that is only used internally, and is sometimes called msfrpc instead. The PyPI search engine does list pymetasploit3 in the search results for msgrpc, but apparently only because the name is referred to in the README for the package.

As it does not seem that the name has ever been used anywhere, I would like to stake a claim for it.

Maintenance or replacement?

Contact and additional research

It is not clear who should be contacted in this case. pymetasploit3 is not demonstrating any intent to use the name for a package.

Hello @dhagrow, msgrpc was placed in the prohibited projects names list by @pypa/warehouse-admins, I do not have permissions to remove it but an admin should be able to process the request soon.

ewdurbin commented 3 years ago

@dhagrow do you have an existing project that will use this name?

dhagrow commented 3 years ago

@yeraydiazdiaz Thanks.

@ewdurbin Yes, however it is not publicly available at the moment. I am in the process of seeking permission to open-source the project in question. I hope to receive authorization within the next month, and once I do, I will be happy to share the repository here.

For now, I can share some (out-of-date) blog posts that demonstrate the project (named simply "rpc"):

Please let me know if there are any other considerations I should be aware of.

ewdurbin commented 3 years ago

This project name will remain on the prohibited list until an existing active project with a public source code repository is available for review.

Once that is available, it can be released to the requesting User.

yeraydiazdiaz commented 3 years ago

Closing for housekeeping, please open a new issue to release the project name.
